    how did they not mention in the fucking conference that these were launch titles? I guess ultimately it probably doesn't matter but god, what the hell

    I feel like it's some weird thing where they can't say it because the launch date wasn't announced

    you can just literally say "available at launch" like they did with devil may cry, though?

    Can the Final Fantasy folks find a single other thing to base their shit on than crystals

    I am sick of crystals, they aren't interesting

    My niece wants a new XBox - that's easy enough, I'll just get her the fancy version. My nephew wants a PS5 - is there a reason to get the disk versus the digital? Like, they're functionally the same except the disk drive?

    They sparkle.

    That's pretty interesting.

    I shouldn't get a PS5 just to get the new DMC5 stuff as soon as possible, but it's tempting.

    Also cheaper than a new PC.

    I'm entirely okay with that Harry Potter game being the least appealing presentation by a wide margin

    the HP game sucks for things that are almost entirely out of the team (and really the game)'s control

    Black Ops is just full of things they didn't have to do and definitely chose to

    the actual harry potter game stuff looks interesting, like, in a world where JK Rowling didn't make any fucking money off it, I'd probably try it out

    but, you know, I bet the game has those goblin bankers in it, so maybe not

    I mean you take out the yammering about crystals and the chocobos and you wouldn't even be able to tell that that was a FF game

    Isn't that all Final Fantasies, though? You take out the familiar iconography and it's just a random fantasy game.

    I have to assume this was blowback about how BAD the last presentation went, with the talking heads and everyone thinking they were CGI and everything else. Except... they still had talking heads on this one!

    I'm actually fine with the actual video presentation being very concentrated on games, and all the other stuff coming after

    I mean

    kinda but also usually that would involve taking out a lot of things and also they still wouldn't look like a knock off Witcher

    Ya the Harry Potter game looks like it could be really cool and is something I really wanted back when I was growing up reading the books and I have a lot of nostalgia for that world.

    It's just that J.K. Rowling turned out to be a huge piece of shit so now looking at anything in that IP is like looking through vaseline smeared glasses except instead of vaseline it's bigotry.

    The funny thing about DMC5SE having Vergil is that apparently Vergil was put into original DMC5 with a lot of the same infrastructure that you would use if you were designing a playable character, so people were able to mod the PC version to do just that. And they're pretty similar!

    Harry Potter is bad and if they made a bootleg magic school game that explicitly wasn't Hogwarts I would be more interested

    That said I realize I am in a minority on that, and a well known IP will do better and that's why we can't have nice things

    But honestly fuck Harry Potter and fuck Rowling, her shitty wizard books aren't even that good once you approach them with an even remotely critical eye, and everything she's added to the fiction after the fact is somehow even worse (except for wizards shitting their pants, that is the only good part of the extended fiction)

    That actually reminds me though where the hell is that Witchbrook game

    wow it really is everything I might be interested in

    Miles, Demon Souls, Sackboy and now Horizon 2 are all announced for the PS4.

    There's zero reason to get a PS5 at launch

  • KrathoonKrathoon Registered User regular
    Yeah. There really isn't much new stuff on the PS5. Need a killer app.

  • MaddocMaddoc I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother? Registered User regular
    Luckily, they're competing with "Play thousands of old games on game pass!"

    Neither console is going to have new games at launch, really

    My non-pro PS4 is already really chugging with anything resource-intensive, and my tolerance for load times is dropping by the day. I don't have anywhere in my studio apartment to put a desktop PC. And if I do hold off, wait until there are next-gen 'sclusies, I run the risk of having to re-buy those generation-spanning games.

    I don't really gain anything by waiting.

  • KrathoonKrathoon Registered User regular
    Still you get a whole system plus ray tracing for $500. I don't like the idea of them charging $69 for games. I may stick to what I got.

    Lately, I have been playing PS1 games.

  • JavenJaven Registered User regular
    Yeah just based on hardware alone there's a LOT of reasons to get a PS5 if you currently have a 500GB regular PS4
